*Whine*Moan*Snivel*

*Grumble* Didn't get to watch Torchwood yesterday because of a fangrrl-flattening migraine, which means, in turn, I'm going to have to assiduously avoid all of the TW comms today. *mutter*

Still, at least migraines seem to hush up Owen Bloody Harper. However, they seem to make toppy!Ianto quite cheerful, weirdly enough.

Torchwood: Random Things

Since I can't join in the squee about Torchwood eps 8 for another eight hours or so (wah!) I'll just dump a load of Torchwood meta here, instead.

( Spoilers for eps 1 - 7 )

However, to offset the rather gloomy sentiments, above, here are the Five Things Fangrrl Loves About Torchwood.

1. The characters are all clearly brilliant, in their way, but prone to making colossal mistakes, too. Yay for geniuses who make bad decisions.
2. Myfanwy. Another manifestation of kewlness factor, but I love me the pterosaurs.
3. Minimal commentary about nookie, especially the same-gender moments.
4. Cardiff as the center of a (potentially) world-threatening space-time rift. Cardiff, for heaven's sake! But it's a lovely change from defaulting to London.
5. Gorgeous production design. Not always sensible, mind you, but gorgeous.


¹ - I think the TARDIS had a bit of a thing for Jack, but I'll save that sort of thought for when I feel like stirring things up at doctard or something. :-D

Shameless Squee.

Y'all can club your funds and buy me this for Xmas.

For the hell of it, I made a bid at the theoretical max I could get away with, divided by two in the interest of not having my husband leave me over the credit card bill and was immediately creamed by the first bidder whom, I'm sure, has a ridiculously high bid.

I seriously considered going up to 100 Pounds for it, as it's the sorta squeeish thing I love (I like scripts. Big surprise) but, as I said, dropping the best part of $200 on such a thing would almost certainly lead to marital discord at the House of Fangrrl.

Unless, of course, I got my hands on a similar item off the set of BSG for the spouse. ;)

Torchwood 1x08 - They Keep Killing...

HA! HAHAHAHA! Vindicated!

*ahem* I mean...( A calm, rational, reaction to 'They Keep Killing...' Spoilers, ahoy! )
